OnRoad Test Management

OffRoad BETA published with support for HP Quality Center and Rational Quality Manager

ilpo — Thu, 13 May 2010 07:02:00 GMT

As per customer requests, we are proceeding with the OffRoad integration to Rational Quality Manager. Plan is to offer same support for offline execution mode as we now have for HP Quality Center.

This integration is not fully done yet, but this can be tried out and seen how it really works. Setup can be found in here http://onroad.juvander.fi/Community/files/folders/beta/default.aspx.

When trying this out, please contact us first for information on how to enable this integration. By default it is still using HP Quality Center connector, but by configuration change it can be switched to use Rational Quality Manager connector instead.

We have used during development Rational Quality Manager version 2.0.1.

All efforts are made towards to get OffRoad and Rational Quality Manager validated through Ready for IBM Rational software validation process.

Released: TFS Bug Item Synchronizer 2.2.1 for Quality Center

ilpo — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 05:45:29 GMT

As TFS2010 version is now officially out we also added support for this into TFS Bug Item Synchronizer.

Released: TFS Bug Item Synchronizer 2.2 for Quality Center

ilpo — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 06:37:00 GMT

Next major version of popular TFS Bug Item Synchronizer for Quality Center is now released.

TFS Bug Item Synchronizer is an tool which allows testing and development teams to work together using tools built for their usage. Testers enter defects in Quality Center and when defect is created and updated into TFS, developer can fix it, link all changes to it and mark it as fixed.

TFS Bug Item Synchronizer, new coming features

ilpo — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 06:01:16 GMT

We have again listened to Your valuable input on what new features there should be on TFS Bug Item Synchronizer. So keep these coming in towards us through our support.

We are now almost done with the next TFS Bug Item Synchronizer version.

Here’ some of the highlights on what will be in it:

Support for multiple TFS servers, mainly due to getting ready for TFS2010 version but current TFS2008 and TFS2005 will also benefit from this
Support for QC10 with version control enabled for requirements
Added possibility to combine fields from QC into TFS field. This is implemented so that QC field is left as undefined and default value for field contains QC fields in following format (this is from requirement): #RQ_REQ_ID# #RQ_REQ_NAME# RequirementType #RQ_TYPE_ID#. So this can include fields which are replaced when updating and also fixed values
New UI for setting properties:

Makes now possible to define Related workitems in Quality Center requirement and defect. This works by adding new field in QC – Related Items – in which related workitems are listed like ‘1919,1918,1817’. During next synchronization these are then linked to found workitems on TFS side
Valuemapping added also for Destination Workitem Type, which is used to select workitem type that is created from Quality Center item
Added possibility to copy value from another QC field based on valuemap
Include attachments –option is now project specific feature

Timetable for getting this out is by end of January 2010.

ilpo — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:58:34 GMT

New version is almost ready, latest one is now downloadable in http://onroad.juvander.fi/Community/files/folders/beta/default.aspx.

Needs still updates into documentation, but other than that everything is now in there.

This is the list of changes in this version:

Allow QC-2-TFS field map to be defined for each TFS/QC project separately. This is used mainly when creating and updating workitems into one TFS project from multiple QC projects which customizations are different from each other.
Added possibility to combine two source fields into one target field. Can be used for example when mapping TFS State & Reason to QC Status field.
Added possibility to combine one source field into two target fields. Can be used for example when mapping QC Status to TFS State & Reason fields.
Possibility to send TFS workitem history into QC memo field by specifying #HISTORY# as a default value and leaving TFS field as Not Defined
Added possibility to add QC Requirement path into TFS workitem field. This is done by using default value 'RQ_REQ_USER_PATH' and QC field as Not Defined
Enabled possibility to specify username, domain and password for TFS project connection. Used when connecting over domain boundaries.
Change selection of TFS server and project from own control to use TFS client components.
Added possibility to specify filter for LDAP query.
If no updates done for TFS workitem, will not try to save it.
Quality Center transition rules can copy values from another field. Used like this to copy value from BG_USER_27 into BG_RESPONSIBLE: <TransitionField name="BG_RESPONSIBLE" forceUpdate="false" value="BG_USER_27"> </TransitionField>
Added possibility to update QC Server name, domain and project into TFS workitem field. This is done by using constant values #QCSERVER#, #QCDOMAIN# and # QCPROJECT# and leaving QC field as Not Defined.
Added advanced Query operator to select TFS workitems from project. For example: QUERY:([System.CreatedBy]='Ilpo Juvander' AND [ID]>500)
Added link to QC requirement into TFS workitem when using requirement synchronization
Changed attachment description handling so that it takes out html tags

Sending workitems to multiple Quality Center projects from TFS

ilpo — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:39:56 GMT

Using our tool TFS Bug Item Synchronizer one scenario that our customers have been requesting is capability to send workitems to different Quality Center projects based on field value in TFS AreaPath –field.

And here’s how you can do it.

There is actually two ways for it, one is to let users decide this manually or then make this decision for them.

Key is to use QC Project Field –setting for your TFS projects which allows to specify into which Quality Center project TFS workitem is being sent to.

This field accepts values in format of QCDOMAIN.QCPROJECT.

Easiest option is to add all configured Quality Center projects into list, attach this list into selected TFS workitem field and let users manually select values for this field.

This – of course – makes it possible also user to make errors on the selection and workitem is sent to wrong Quality Center project.

To make this decision for the user based on field value in TFS AreaPath –field (or any other TFS field) workitem template needs to be modified to include couple of rules:

Have default value as empty for QC Project Field
If user selects known AreaPath with mapped Quality Center project, change QC Project Field value in TFS to match this selection so that TFS workitem is sent to QC
If user select unknown or unmapped AreaPath, clear QC Project Field so that TFS workitem is not sent to QC

Thing to remember in here is that you cannot use AreaPath directly in a rule, instead you need to use AreaId field. And how do you know these AreaId values? Look at the workitem history:

In above the New Value is the AreaId for matching Area Path value that was selected.

So now that we know where to get all the values, it is time to start modifying the workitem template for our TFS project.

For this purpose I’m using TFS Power Tools.

First create a new field for your workitem, name it the way you like, values for this form below are not important for the synchronization process:

To specify QC destination project automatically for two AreaPaths (TestTfsforCMMI\Area 0, AreaId=151 and TestTfsforCMMI\Area 1, AreaId=152), following rules need to be added:

So two WHEN rules and one WHENNOT rule.

WHEN rules have following content:

and for each WHEN rule we need to define two additional rules:

COPY rule when AreaPath is changed to our’s:

and DEFAULT rule in case we already had the correct AreaPath when we created the workitem:

Our second WHEN rules is the same as the first one, except that AreaId is different:

and COPY and DEFAULT rules have different Quality Center project:

And last thing is the WHENNOT rule:

For value just pick any of the mapped AreaId values and define a COPY rule:

So in case none of the actual ones for AreaPath is selected, QC Project Field we defined is cleared.

To test this, QC Project Field is brought into form (in our case we called it ErrorDB) and when neither ‘TestTfsforCMMI\Area 0’ or ‘TestTfsforCMMI\Area 1’ is selected, ErrorDB remains empty:

When we select ‘Area 0’ we get ErrorDB populated correctly:

and with ‘Area 1’:

And when selecting value that we did not map ErrorDB is cleared:

One thing to configure is that when you add this field into workitem form, you might want to mark it as readonly:

This way users are not able to type in any values for this field and it gets changed only when AreaPath –field is changed.

OffRoad and QTP Automation Integration

ilpo — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 04:00:00 GMT

We are exploring the possibility to enable OffRoad to drive remote execution of QTP (Quick Test Professional) automated scripts.

Integration would be so that OffRoad would take automated QTP test cases out from QC (Quality Center), store them locally for execution and once user has executed these test cases enable uploading of results back to QC project.

This would enable even further possibilities for outsourced testing resources to be used together with internal testing in cost saving manner.

OffRoad licensing model is simple: Seat or Floating, no restrictions on site or country where it can be used.

If you are interested in this kind of possibility, contact us for further information on how to take part on this evaluation.

Offer: When purchasing 5 or more OffRoad licenses, General Reporting and Import Export Utilities are included

ilpo — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 07:25:00 GMT

For purchases of OffRoad with 5 or more licenses Juvander Consulting includes now General Reporting and Import Export Utilities.

So when purchasing 5 OffRoad licenses, you will also get 5 General Reporting and 5 Import Export Utility licenses. If purchasing floating OffRoad licenses, these utilities are also provided as floating licenses.

OffRoad is an offline client for Quality Center which is used to execute test cases an report defects. OffRoad is also great way to save on Quality Center license costs: Term licenses starting as low as 85€ per month per user.

General Reporting Utility is a tool to extract data from Quality Center into Excel in various types of reports.

Import Export Utility can export test cases into Excel for (including design steps) and also transfer test cases and requirements between projects and preserve links between requirements and test cases and also between call to test cases.

BETA: TFS Bug Item Synchronizer version 2.0 for Quality Center

ilpo — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:04:45 GMT

Next version of TFS Bug Item Synchronizer version 2.0 for Quality Center is get closer.

Today we have put first version out where are two major changes compared to version 1.6:

Possibility to define master for each field. Both Quality Center and TFS or None can be marked as master for fields. If None is selected, it equals current behavior.
Requirement synchronization between Quality Center and TFS. We have enabled an simple version on these two systems work together.

About requirement synchronization, this is not perfect yet as TFS has some limitation on it.

The way it works right now is that you must define one root requirement in Quality Center and all mapped requirements are then created under this node. After requirement has been created from TFS in Quality Center, it is possible to move this requirement into different place and also requirements originating from Quality Center can be in any place.

Reason why it works now like this is the fact that TFS does not have any hierarchy between requirements in current releases. It is only possible to define related work items without any parent - child -relation.

There are some custom work item controls that enable this, but not out of the box TFS project can do it.

Also, on this scenario where requirements are synchronized into one folder, there exists some limitation on Quality Center side: Requirement name must be unique within requirements children. For this we added automatic renaming of requirements, duplicate requirement names are added text '_Copy_X' at the end, where X is the number of duplicate requirement names.

But let's see how the feedback on the current version is going to be and after that decide which way to go with this.

This version can be found on our BETA downloads (requires registration to the site).

Testing with business people involved

ilpo — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 08:58:39 GMT

During my meetings and discussions with our customers, I have been noticing an issue with current Quality Center, that many people find it hard to use.

Especially business users who see it for the very first time they are totally lost with it and it's concept how it is used.

On bigger project's things that these users have issues are

Where are test sets with test cases that I should test?
How do I execute tests?
Where are my previously executed test results? Why don't I see my comments I added last time to run steps?
How can I create a defect?

Having thoughts on how to make things better it happened that one of our customer approached me with an requirement towards OffRoad to have an simplified wizard like user interface for test execution.

After reading through the first requirement specification on this, it really started to look like exactly the same type of issues that I had been facing lately.

So, after few days of development work we ended up putting an special OffRoad version together which starts with very simple user interface:

It has four tasks involved:

Download tests. This launches the traditional OffRoad download tests functionality with additional features to help these non-technical people to find their test cases. These features include the possibility show only test sets with Status 'Open' and download only those test cases from these test sets where current user is marked as Responsible Tester. This - of course - means that person guiding the testing will need to update these fields for this to work, but still this small effort is smaller than the actual guidance needed for testers to find their test cases in other cases.
Create a virtual test set. This is already a special feature made for OffRoad to create new test sets from already existing test sets and can include custom selection criteria's using custom built DLL linked into OffRoad.
Execute tests. This will simply guide through the test cases from selected test set. It creates only one run for each test case, if run already exists, it will simply open it instead of creating new one.
Upload results. Since OffRoad is working totally independent from Quality Center server, results need to be uploaded to server once testing has finished.

We have made this version available as an early version for our customers. If you are interested on seeing how this works on your case, just contact us.

To download tests from Quality Center server follow these steps.

Type in server URL, username and password:

Then select the test sets that are assigned to you:

Include defects, if you like:

Include Requirements if you need to look at them:

And then just click Finish to download the data you have selected:

After these steps the selected test sets are available for execution and actually you do not need to have an network connection at all to the Quality Center server while doing the tests. You have be on totally separate network, do the testing and once you are back after the testing just upload the results!

To create new virtual test set

Starting point is to copy existing test set, but custom DLL can be also used to add some more criteria's into this process.

Select the test set you want to use from the list

And click Finish to confirm your selection and to create the new virtual test set

So now we have a second instance from the same test set as one of our alternatives for execution:

To execute tests follow these steps

This will start the execution wizard with the first selection screen (this will be probably skipped if custom execution screens are not available):

Then select from the list of local test sets the one you want:

Run through all the steps and cases and Pass/Fail steps and record Actual Results for steps

And once done with the testing, select Finish to end your testing and return to the main screen

To upload results back to Quality Center project follow these steps

Select test set that you want to upload to Quality Center server by selecting it from the list

Type in server URL, username and password to connect to Quality Center

Note: it is also possible to send the results to different server than they originated from, in that case select Next to change the domain and project.

Once everything is uploaded, focus is moved back to main selection.

OffRoad's main user interface

OffRoad has also still available the original user interface which has all features for more advanced people:

Lock picture in above means that the run has already been uploaded to Quality Center server.

All the runs created in the wizard mode are visible in here as well and they can be edited, deleted and uploaded to Quality Center server as before.

We are still continuing to develop both the OffRoad's main user interface and this wizard interface even further. Some new features that we have added to the coming OffRoad version is things like

Creating and Adding missing test sets and test cases if they are removed from the Quality Center server project before the uploading of results
Support for SnagIt screen capturing, if you already own the SnagIt, OffRoad will be able to use it to add these captures as an attachments:
